CFP: "Southern Waters" submissions to Southern Cultures

Southern Cultures, the award-winning quarterly
from UNC's Center for the Study of the American South, encourages submissions
from scholars and other thoughtful writers from around the world for our
special issue devoted entirely to "Southern Waters." We will be
accepting submissions of polished drafts for this special issue through June
30, 2013.

We are
interested in reflections on all aspects of water, including music, navigation
and mapping, disasters (from drought to flood), property (riparian rights to
ownership), faith and cosmology, literature and art, drink, resource and energy
(from hydroelectric to fracking), and more. Submissions on water topics such as
Southern tears, beach music, bourbon and branch, river baptisms, drowning,
resorts, borders, swamps, agriculture and aquaculture, fishing, etc. are all
encouraged.

With really great production values and an orientation
toward specialists and lay audiences, Southern
Cultures (both the magazine and the website) occupy a valuable place in the
academy. Check it out and submit! I know we have more than a few riparian specialists
among our readership.

Welcome to the Environment, Law, and History Blog!

The connections between the environment, law, and history are deep and pervasive. Many of us, from many disciplines – law, history, geography, and environmental studies, to name a few – have been working at the intersections of these fields for some time, but have had no common forum for exchanging views and information. This blog aims to enable such exchanges, allowing us to share ideas and learn about scholarship, conferences, and opportunities for collaboration with colleagues around the world.
